I got this image many weeks ago. Its great that Noizi Ito can draw more than just saucer-eyed chipmunk-nosed girls (I actually like her normal designs, mind you). Her art style in general has substantially improved over the years, as shown by comparing her illustrations of Shana (old first, new second):

It won't be that long until she become the next Tony Taka (for his two Shining series) and Urushihara Satoshi (Growlanser series). She has already been working for two NDS rpg for the character designs.
